BUG REPORT: libertas causing kernel lockups

[Alexander Barinov <alex.barinov@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have Eking I1 UMPC that features Marvell 8686 SDIO wireless card. I
am currently using vanilla kernel 2.6.30, but the bug is there on
Debian 2.26 and 2.29 as well as vanilla 2.29 kernels I tried previously

The initial symptom of the bug was system lockup when executing 'ifdown
eth0' with 'BUG: scheduling while atomic'. Trying to understand the
cause of the bug and find a workaround I was able to find an easier way
to reproduce it. By executing 'cat /proc/net/wireless' I get the same
bug:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: cat/1885/0x00000002 
Pid: 1885, comm: cat Not tainted 2.6.30.090704 #2

Please let me know if I should provide any additional details regarding
the bug.
